(Verse 1) Yeah I met myself at the bottom floor, No keys, no map, no open door, Just echoes bouncing off the stone, And a silence that felt like bone. Every step was a weight I dragged, Every hope was a torn-up flag, I told myself “just hold on tight,” While I learned what it means to lose the fight. (Pre-Chorus) But even down here in the dark I see, A crack in the wall where light might be, And something inside that refuses to die, Even when I don’t know why. (Chorus) I’m trying to break free from rock bottom, Where the nights don’t end and I almost lost ‘em, Every breath feels like climbing a wall, But I’m still here, I refuse to fall. Yeah I’ve been buried but I’m still alive, Digging my way back up to survive, And if this is the place where I had to learn, Then I’ll rise through the ashes I had to burn. (Verse 2) Tried to drown the noise in a crowded mind, But the louder it got the more I’d find, That pain don’t vanish when you ignore, It just waits outside your door. So I stopped pretending I was okay, Started facing the truth I’d run away, Piece by piece I rebuilt my name, From the broken glass and the guilt and shame. (Bridge) And I know I’m not where I want to be, But I’m farther than I used to see, And every inch that I climb tonight Is a war I’m winning inside my mind. (Breakdown) One step! One fight! One breath! One light! No more staying down in the dirt, Even rock bottom starts to hurt… (Final Chorus) I’m trying to break free from rock bottom, And every scar I’ve got’s where I fought ‘em, The ground beneath me tried to hold me still, But I’ve got more fight left in my will. Yeah I’m rising slow but I’m rising true, Every broken piece I turn into fuel, And if I ever forget how far I’ve come, I’ll remember I’m already one.
